Problem Description
My purpose is simply being able to retrieve basic user info (id, username, lastname, firstname) in javascript on ANY moodle page WITHOUT having to create a plugin.
I've seen that there is a javascript global variable in Moodle : `M` but no user info in there.
Is there a way to access user info (id at least) from a logged in user on any page only in javascript another way ?
I've tried the [generico filter][1] to create a block i would be able to retrieve information from
<span data-firstname="@@USER:firstname@@" data-lastname="@@USER:lastname@@" data-userid="@@USER:id@@" id="useriddata"></span>
But since i want it on any page, i've tried on the Moodle > Extra HTML textarea. Sadly it doesn't work since the HTML seems not to be filtered there.
Creating a plugin for such a small information seems wrong. What can i do ?
